STATEN ISLAND, N.Y. -- An 88-year-old Graniteville woman who suffered serious injuries two years ago when she was hit by a vehicle while she was loading groceries in a supermarket parking lot has settled her lawsuit for $500,000, her lawyer said.

Prudence Cavagnaro was hurt outside the ShopRite store at 985 Richmond Ave., Graniteville, at about 2:25 p.m. on Nov. 18, 2016, said her court filings.

Cavagnaro, now 90, was putting groceries in her car when she was struck by a 1999 Chevrolet driven by Robert G. Zion, court papers said.

Zion was backing out of a parking space, said James M. Santner, Cavagnaro's lawyer and a partner in the Bloomfield firm Minchew & Santner.

Zion, then 79, told police he couldn't see Cavagnaro due to sun glare, according to a police accident report included in the court file.
